KEYNOTE INTETAIN (2015) - Organised by the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) and technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Computer Society Visualization & Graphics Technical Committee.: 7th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment - Theme: Human-Computer Interaction for Entertainment

Description

This keynote will discus specific relationships between human-computer interaction and entertainment via a mature body of processual transdisciplinary research, titled “SoundScapes”. The research bridges the hard and soft sciences, specifically focusing upon the synthesis of HCI, ICT, and the empowerment and related motivation of “self-active creativity and play ”, which, when aligned with a theoretical entertainment model and tacit knowledge of end-users, resulted in emergent models for in-action intervention and on-action evaluations. Adopted professionally, the influence in practices targeting healthcare, (re)habilitation, wellbeing and Quality-of-Life has been documented in numerous publications. An overall goal is societal impact and human benefit aiming at contribution to address demographic changes in populations, i.e. increased numbers of aged, people with impairments, and shortcomings of service providers. Such impact is through supplementing traditional strategies where targeted benefit is for all-ages, all abilities, and all situations (formal, informal, non-formal, local and remotely located). The challenging history and evolution of the work will be presented in how it pioneered the exploration of inter-subjective and intra-subjective intervention through human afferent-efferent neural loop closure. A family of patents titled “Communication apparatus and method” resulted from the research as well as start-up companies and commercial product.
